My Comments: One of the people whatsapped me that the actual number was more than 1000 people marching today. Maybe they are trying to play it down.
About the Daughter joining the march, he said she is 'hunting with the hounds and running with the hares'.
Even 400 busy lawyers (on a Monday) is plenty. A thousand lawyers and others is still a big crowd - on a Monday afternoon at about 33 degrees heat.
I think they should be worried.
